By Andrew Palmer
SAN FRANCISCO—Three consecutive years of double-digit growth has allowed Growers Direct to secure investments from three private capital groups amounting to $1.2 million. Growers Direct allows consumers to ___1___ fresh produce directly from farmers through its website and have it delivered.
Chairman Devon Bossi told reporters yesterday ___2___ Growers Direct will use the cash infusion to upgrade its technical infrastructure and to acquire new customers.
Several supermarket chains as well as a large distributor of agricultural products issued a press release claiming that the online food market was not mature enough to support Grower Direct’s business model. Many industry analysts, ___3___, take the contrary view.
"The time is definitely ripe for this type of service," said Eliza Teng, an online commerce consultant with Golden State Ventures. "I expect other companies in California and across the nation will be entering this market soon."

1.
【答案】D
【破題】
在時間緊迫的情況之下,僅需看空格前後的內容和四個答案選項即可。首先,藉由空格前的"allows consumers to ..."「讓消費者可以...」即可知,本題應選一個動詞。其次,看到空格後的"fresh produce"「新鮮農產品」可知,該動詞應為及物動詞,而其受詞為「新鮮農產品」。
【解析】
選項(A) ship「運送」,語意不正確。
選項(B) raise「增加」,也不正確。
選項(C) shop「購買」,shop為不及物動詞,其後應接for(例如,"We shopped all day for a party dress."),而此題空格後並沒有for,因此不可選。
選項(D) purchase「購買」,"... allows consumers to purchase fresh produce directly from farmers ...",正確答案。
2.
【答案】C
【破題解析】
空格之前有主詞(Chairman Devon Bossi)、動詞(told),而空格後也有主詞(Growers Direct)與動詞(will use),因此中間空格必須填入連接詞來引導出其後的子句,又因為空格後為意思完整的子句,故應選不具意義的純粹連接詞(C) that。
3.
【答案】D
【破題】
根據前一句以及空格後的"take the contrary view"「持相反意見」來判斷,空格中必須填入表相反、對立的轉折語。
【解析】
選項(A) likewise「同樣地」,語意錯誤。
選項(B) therefore「因此」表因果關係,不可選。
選項(C) although「雖然」,語意也不正確。
選項(D) however「不過」為最佳答案。
